An Interview From an Interesting Angle

On one of my recent interviews, I talked to an interesting person who seemed to feel differently about Common's Market than I had expected, and a different view point then even my other interviewees had. This person seemed to think that the location was not a community, and does not enjoy coming there too much at all. I will post the interview as I find the perspective of it intriguing, as it comes from a person disproving what it is I came to research, the element of community at my site.
